handler for Windows .URL files

Open TDome opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

I have a lot of Windows .URL files (internet shortcuts) in my folders. h5ai correctly serves them as text files, but I would prefer that h5ai parse the actual URL from within the file, then use that web address as the hyperlink that is presented in the directory index. In other words, don't show the actual .URL file, but rather go to the web page that is referenced by the .URL file.

Any ideas on how to implement this? Parsing the Windows .URL file is trivial, but I'm just not up to speed on how to make this change.

Thanks for any advice.

Has anyone ever looked into this to get this to work?
